drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses affecting plant growth and development. in the present study, the changes in lipid peroxidation rate and antioxidant enzyme activities were determined at different concentrations of polyethylene glycol (peg) 6000 (0, 5, 10, and 15% (w/v)) for two canola cultivars (slm046 and hyola 308). in order to produce water deficit, 12 days old canola s...

In Model driven architecture (MDA) domain experts model their knowledge in a modeling language at a higher abstraction level than source code. The mapping from domain models to source code is often performed automatically, but programmers still have to implement many details manually. MDA brings domain experts and programmers closer together and makes the communication gap smaller. Often this i...

Launched in 2001, MDA is now having a major impact on the work of the application development methods and tools community. Currently, there are at least 40 tools that incorporate at least one of the major aspects of MDA (the OMG website has a page at http://www.omg.org/mda/committedproducts.htm listing 42 of them) and there are perhaps another couple of dozen in the works. According to Jon Sieg...

Benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) is the most common benign tumor in men due to obstruction of the urethra and, finally, uremia. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a product derived from peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and related esters. Evaluation of MDA in serum represents a non-invasive biomarker of oxidative stress. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a sensitive marker for prostatic hype...

Model-Driven Development (MDD) has become a familiar software engineering term in recent years, thanks to the profound influence of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA). Yet MDD, like MDA itself, defines a general framework, and as such is a generic approach rather than a concrete development methodology. Methodology support for MDA has been rather slow in coming, yet even though several MDA-bas...

BIR, L.S., DEMIR, S., ROTA, S. and KÖSEOĞLU, M. Increased Serum Malondialdehyde Levels in Chronic Stage of Ischemic Stroke. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2006, 208 (1), 33-39 ── Serum lipoperoxidation products such as malondialdehyde (MDA) reflect oxidative stress. There are contradictory results addressing the levels of lipoperoxidation products in chronic phase of ischemic stroke. In the present study...

Induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene expression, nitric oxide (NO) production and migration of RAW264.7 macrophages by coculture with breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells or the addition of conditioned medium derived from MDA-MB-231 cells (MDA-CM) was identified. Increased iNOS/NO induction and migration of macrophages by MDA-CM were significantly blocked by adding the c-Jun-N-ter...

RATIONALE It has been proposed that malondialdehyde (MDA) reflects free oxygen-radical lipid peroxidation and can be useful as a biomarker to track this process. For the analysis of MDA molecules in humid air by selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS), the rate coefficients and the ion product distributions for the reactions of the SIFT-MS reagent ions with volatile MDA in the presen...
